Gait Product Information

gait - AI-Native Version Control is a collaborative AI-assisted development tool that stores prompts, context, and code together, enabling teams to understand, edit, and review AI-generated code more effectively. It integrates with your workflow to capture AI-codegen conversations, link them to repository content, and provide analytics on the impact of AI on your codebase and productivity. The tool emphasizes seamless context sharing across team members and enhances code review with prompt provenance and model comparisons.


Key Capabilities

  • Capture AI-generated conversations: gait automatically saves AI-codegen chats into a file in the .gait folder.
  • Contextual version control: commit the .gait folder to your repository to share AI context with the team.
  • Code understanding during reviews: view the prompts that led to specific code, enabling better traceability and reasoning.
  • Analytics: track the impact of AI on codebase metrics and productivity with built-in analytics and statistics.
  • Team collaboration: share AI-assisted development context across the team via standard versioning workflows.
  • Code integration: works alongside your existing editor/IDE (VSCode or Cursor) to embed AI context within your project.

How It Works

  1. Capture Conversations: gait saves AI-codegen chats to the ".gait" folder in your project.
  2. Commit to Repo: include the .gait folder in your repo to share context with teammates.
  3. Understand Code: during reviews or edits, read the prompts that generated each piece of code to understand intent and constraints.

Download & Setup

  • Open VSCode or Cursor.
  • Go to the extension marketplace.
